Noob Question: What happened to the profile messages on people's profile pages?

I had received many loving, soothing messages from Dane , R8ERS, and may others over the last few years, as well as shared my own musings and thoughtful well wishes to my many admired colleagues of CP.....What happened to these inspirational messages and the ability to create/receive them.....

Sorry since I'm sure this must be a Q but I mustve missed the official thread....
